Do you ever wake up in the morning and think to
yourself ‘Self, I have a need. A deep down, burning in my bones need, a need
that can only be fulfilled by one thing. Speed. A need for speed.” If you have
ever felt that desire or want something that will make your thumbs tremble in
fear, I have found the plane for you!

I took a chance one night when I was browsing
Motion RC and saw a sweet little Pylon Racer on their website. The Moray was
only $99 and came as a Plug-n-Fly. It was just cheap enough for me to take the
plunge without knowing anything about it. Fortunately I did some quick research
and found that it was highly recommended to also buy an odd shaped 4S 1600mah battery
for the plane. In preparation I purchased two.

The final Spitfire
variant, the Mk 24, was similar to the Mk 22 except that it had an increased
fuel capacity over its predecessors, with two fuel tanks of 33 gal (150 l) each
installed in the rear fuselage. There were also zero-point fittings for rocket
projectiles under the wings. All had the larger "Spiteful" tail
units: modifications were also made to the trim tab gearings in order to perfect
the F Mk 24's handling characteristics. The F Mk 24 achieved a maximum speed of
454 mph (731 km/h), and could reach an altitude of 30,000 ft (9,100 m) in eight
minutes, putting it on a par with the most advanced piston-engined fighters of
the era. Rated at 2,050 hp (1,530 kW), the 12-cylinder Vee liquid cooled
Griffon 61 engine featured a two-stage supercharger, giving the Spitfire the
exceptional performance at high altitude that had been sometimes lacking in
early marks.

The de Havilland DH.100
Vampire was a British jet fighter commissioned by the Royal Air Force during
the Second World War. Following the Gloster Meteor, it was the second jet
fighter to enter service with the RAF. Although it arrived too late to see
combat during the war, the Vampire served with front line RAF squadrons until
1953 and continued in use as a trainer until 1966, although generally the RAF
relegated the Vampire to advanced training roles in the mid-1950s and the type
was generally out of RAF service by the end of the decade. The Vampire also
served with many air forces worldwide, setting aviation firsts and records. The
D.H. 100 supports a crew of one and is powered by a de Havilland Goblin 3
centrifugal turbojet that is capable of pushing the Vampire to 548mph with a
service ceiling of 42,800 feet.

The North American Aviation T-6 Texan was a single-engine advanced trainer
aircraft used to train pilots of the United States Army Air Forces, United
States Navy, Royal Air Force and other air forces of the British Commonwealth
during World War II and into the 1950s. Designed by North American Aviation,
the T-6 is known by a variety of designations depending on the model and
operating air force. The USAAC and USAAF designated it as the AT-6, the United
States Navy the SNJ, and British Commonwealth air forces, the Harvard, the name
it is best known by outside of the US. After 1962, US forces designated it the
T-6. It remains a popular warbird aircraft used for airshow demonstrations and
static displays. The Texan supports a crew of two (student and instructor) and
is powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-1340-AN-1 Wasp radial engine that propels
the plane to 208 mph.

The Fw 190 A-8 entered
production in February 1944, powered either by the standard BMW 801 D-2 or the
801Q. The 801Q/TU, with the "T" signifying a Triebwerksanlage
unitized powerplant installation, was a standard 801D with improved, thicker
armour on the front annular cowling, which also incorporated the oil tank,
upgraded from 6 mm (.24 in) on earlier models to 10 mm (.39 in). Changes
introduced in the Fw 190 A-8 also included the C3-injection Erhöhte Notleistung
emergency boost system to the fighter variant of the Fw 190 A, raising power to
(1,953 hp, 1,456 kW) for a short time. The Erhöhte Notleistung system operated
by spraying additional fuel into the fuel/air mix, cooling it and allowing
higher boost pressures to be run, but at the cost of much higher fuel
consumption. A new outwardly bulged main canopy glazing format, more in the
manner of a Malcolm hood rather than a bubble canopy, with greatly improved
vision sideways and forward. The new canopy included a larger piece of head
armour which was supported by reinforced bracing and a large fairing. This
fuselage would form the basis for all later variants of the Fw 190 and the Ta
152 series. The A-8 was the most numerous of the Fw 190-As, with over 6,655 A-8
airframes produced from March 1944 to May 1945.
